Passionate UX Designer with specialty in WCAG accessibility design

I am a designer with multiple years of experience leading design, research, and testing at a startup. Throughout the years I've worked on design systems, e-commerce marketplaces, virtual reality, AI chatbots, and more. What sets me apart is my expertise in accessibility. I am W3Cx web accessibility certified which means that I am in the details of UI design and research. I work closely with the WCAG guideline lines, working with developers, and making strong design decisions. In my previous experiences, I have conducted accessibility audits, improved WCAG scores, and raised standards to WCAG 2.0
